Here comes a lovely lemon and meringue tart, with homegrown pansies and mint - i am going to have my second coffee now.

Another spot that we just let it be during winter months - time for some haircut Time to transplant some wild garlic that I grew them in pots. Also some bricks with violets and Euonymus, with some spring pruning not bad, maybe it's a good idea Each brick develops its own look, how lovely...

I did a lot of cleaning and rearrangements these two weeks. First, the small path next to the house. It's basically just an additional passage to the garden, and we didn't think too much of using it. However, after opening the cafe, i spent more time in the frontyard and here. The observation...

22C today, gosh, almost like summer - the laundry dried so quickly in the greenhouse.

Dear Bay, It's a bit tedious, but not too complicated - also it can save a lot of time and effort for me to explain in a language i am much less capable of. The most difficult step might be deciding to do so, but after the template is built (also AI helps), just repeat copy and paste - finger...

And this reminds me about one thread about recycling things in the garden :D

Yes i do 🥰 I just packed some chive seeds to share tomorrow. I also created QR codes for plants so people can get some basic information.

Just love them ❤️

It's here now 🌱🎉❤️

As @digitS' said, after the 'garden' part, here comes the 'flour' part -- A spinach and black sesame loaf Still some older tomato + wild garlic slices, i love the color contrast Dark chocolate and berry-sauce (under chocolate layer) tartlets simple cupcakes

A bright day, and the cafe is close every Wednesday and Thursday, so I merrily spent the entire morning in the garden. Seedlings are doing well So, time to pruning this arc a bit :lol: really wild... done. I am also preparing plants for the sharing stand in front of the cafe. They...

oh i love this! Today we have such a bright weather, no flour, only garden!

My daily life is still simple, around the garden and cafe. Some food I made recently Daily lunch set British scone, homemade cream (browned butter + mascapone) and earl grey strawberry jam Almond Tart with Plum and Sour Cherries Tomato and wild garlic toast Tiramisu - Mixed Berries...

Guess what I am doing this while? I put a small greenhouse in front of the cafe, and made it into a small plant stand - kind of honest shop, you pay what you think proper. So, all the volunteer plants, perennials that need to be lifted every few years, and extra seedlings - they will travel to...

Dear Bay, I miss you and all the lovely TEG neighbors as well. Time really flies. The café will turn two this May, and I can hardly believe it. One of the most valuable lessons I’ve learned is this: since the café is a bit like a home office, when there are no customers, instead of staying in...

I wish you will enjoy this like I did.

The weather remains lovely, so I clean up some beds in a west-facing area, and transplanted a few Sprouting broccoli to pots. Simple lunch - homemade bread and veggie soup The early blommers The good weather will remain for a while, and it's like a gift from spring. Refilled the beds...

Bay, I’m so sorry to hear about Sheba. That must have been such a shock. She had you there with her in the end. That means a lot. Losing a good farm dog like that leaves a huge hole. From the way you wrote about her, it’s clear she had a good life and was very loved. And dealing with the hernia...

After such a long winter, today is the first day that we have more than 10 hours sunlight! The planters on the window sills were reloaded. Bagels baked Walked with dogs I finally made small herb pillows - dried herbs and flowers from last year. A lovely brunch for myself (2 off-days)...

Yes, I transplant them as early as I reasonably can. This first batch usually handles a bit of late frost just fine. Keeping them indoors for too long actually creates more problems — pests, excess moisture, and that constant need to manage everything. A few years ago, I sowed very early and...
